A Comprehensive Study of Digital Image Steganographic Techniques

Abstract

Steganography surpasses other mechanisms of securing data from potential threats. The modern digital arena calls for robust information hiding techniques and, thus, it has always been a flash point for researchers and academicians. Nowadays, transmission is susceptible to numerous hacks while sharing secret information through typical correspondence channel. Accordingly, everybody needs the classification, respectability, and realness of his or her privileged information. Particularly, different techniques are used to take on these security issues like advanced declaration, computerized mark, and cryptography. Nevertheless, these strategies alone cannot be negotiated. Steganography is a revolution where current information compression, data hypothesis, spread range, and cryptography advancements are integrated to meet the requirements for protection of data over the Internet. This study investigates and critically analyses various existing cover steganography techniques and identifies the valuable region that everyone can be benefited. Moreover, we present a comprehensive overview of the fundamental concepts with in the domain of the steganographic methods and steganalysis. These systems have been depicted in numerous areas of the steganography such as spatial space, transform domain, and adaptive space. Moreover, each space has its particular traits. A few regularly involved techniques for improving the steganographic security and upgrading steganalysis capacity are elaborated, summed up; and conceivable examination patterns are talked about. We also systematically separate different methodologies in our review and show their pros and cons, qualities, challenges and significance.INDEX TERMS Steganography, data concealing, cover objects, image quality assessment metrics.

An Enhanced Steganography Approach for Concealing Audio in Images Using Double Density-Dual Tree Wavelet Transform

“…Rahman et al [5] reviewed the steganographic methods, including but not limited to the spatial and transform domain embedding methods. The various algorithms for extracting and embedding processes in steganographic systems were reviewed in the work.…”

A New Steganography Method for Hiding Text into RGB Image

“…Also, there are different measurements which determine the performance efficiency of steganography techniques such as Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Mean Square Error (MSE), Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) [13,14]. Steganography technique is quite valuable and it can be applied in many domains such as communication and secret data storing, e-commerce, database systems, data alteration protection, and media [15]. As we mentioned previously that the steganography technique has different www.ijacsa.thesai.org categories for hiding information which are embedding the information in text, images, audios, videos, or protocol.…”
